Particularly, in Zambezia State, which is located at the southern end of the northern plateau, spread in the north of the Zambezi River, the largest international river in the country, the water supply to the population is so poor that only 14% of the people are supplied with drinking water.
Especially around the hilly areas in eight counties in the north, because there were a series of fierce battles during the civil war, numerous wells were destroyed and left derelict and the residents had to use water from small rivers and fountains nearby.
As a result of these efforts, it is expected that secure water supply services will be provided for the residents, and this will greatly contribute to enhancing the people's standard of living, preventing water-related diseases and improving the public health environment.

However, at a similar meeting for the displaced people of Derre, then living in the neighbouring District of Nicoadala, the people shouted down the administrator when he tried to persuade them to wait for government clearance and to accept transit or settlement camps before leaving for their homes in areas controlled by Renamo.

It is perhaps for this reason that ten days after the signing, and before parliamentary ratification, Renamo gathered at an abandoned mission, 10 km outside of the district capital, with their population another 5 km behind, and called for the government administration to come and discuss peace.
